Lyrics Bonita - Ben Shaw

I′d trade it all for one more dance with you
To see your eyes sparkle their Mexican brown in my blue
You went away before I could say, "I do"
Your heart was broken by words I had spoken, in anger, not meant for you

On my heart I will tattoo, "Bonita, I love you"

You were my queen, I was obscene and obtuse
I untied the knot and managed to fasten the noose
I was so scared, quite unprepared for you
I took our love lightly, the scene was unsightly, and now I'm here singing the blues

On my heart I will tattoo, "Bonita, I love you"

Ooh...
I tried and tried to let you go
But my heart cannot refrain
They say time takes time to heal the soul
Until then I′ll stoke the flame

Next time the wind blows
Open your window
And I'll sing to you
And ask for the chance to take your hand
And dance with you under the moon
And feel our hearts renewed as two lovers in tune
